Wuthering Waves Makes PlayStation 5 Debut Alongside Major 2.0 Update

Kuro Games’ action RPG Wuthering Waves is expanding its horizons, launching on PlayStation 5 alongside its anticipated Version 2.0 update. The free-to-play title, which made its initial debut on PC and mobile platforms in May, brings its blend of open-world exploration and fast-paced combat to Sony’s console.

Wuthering Waves Version 2.0 introduces players to Rinascita, an archipelagic nation known for its artistic culture and elaborate masquerade celebrations. The update centers on Ragunna, a city-state where influential families hold sway over art and commerce. Players will explore this new region using enhanced movement abilities, including two new Echoes: the Gondola, enabling water navigation through Rinascita’s channels, and the Wingray, offering high-speed flight capabilities.

The update also brings several new gameplay features, including Flight Challenges and Dream Patrols, alongside new characters such as Carlotta and Roccia joining the playable roster.

Wuthering Waves continues its narrative as players take on the role of Rover, exploring a post-apocalyptic world affected by the mysterious Lament.

The Version 2.0 update marks a significant expansion for the game, introducing not only new territories but also expanding the game’s reach to console players for the first time since its initial release.

This is an age of struggle. Since the Calament a hundred years ago, beings hitherto unknown have taken root in our world, sowing discord and destruction. Civilization as we know it once teetered on the brink of collapse. This is an age of hope. Survivors have buried the hatchet with their kin and enemies and started to rebuild from the ruins. They find hope in the glories of the bygone days. They erect cities and factories. They sing the praises of restoration. As for you, Rover from the beyond. Whatever might have led to your awakening, we welcome you to these troubled lands. Your journey here will cross with many others'--and will be marked by mysteries and battles. You shall go down as a legend, one that will bring rejuvenation to mankind.
